Antacid is basic, not acidic.
It has a pH of about 6, which makes it an acid. It is meant to dilute stomach acid, but not neutralize it.
Antacid medication is alkaline, which is also called base. It makes the stomach acid slightly less acidic so that the stomach acid has a pH between 3 and 4.
An antacid is considered a base.
Makes them harder to compress into tablets (and stay as tablets), and does nothing to neutralize acid.
no. it is a chemical reaction. and so it cannot be reversed.
The prefix for acid is "acid-" and the suffix is "-ic."
Yes, baking soda can act as an antacid by neutralizing stomach acid.
acid also antagonist
Titration can be used to make sure that the base used in these tasks are standardized. This is important in finding out which antacid is the best because all the bases will have the same impact.
The relationship between the amount of antacid and the length of time to neutralize the acid is generally direct; as the amount of antacid increases, the time required to neutralize the acid typically decreases. This is because a larger quantity of antacid can react more quickly with the acid, effectively increasing the neutralization rate. However, the specific rate can also depend on factors like the type of antacid used and the concentration of the acid. Therefore, while more antacid usually leads to faster neutralization, the exact relationship can vary under different conditions.
